All ads with a sexual content, including dating and reproductive pharmaceuticals, are now blocked. Booze advertising, which was auto-blocked, is now open.<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />JamesJAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-15494308113726402572021-12-06T03:51:20.296-08:002021-12-06T03:51:20.296-08:00Hi Pancerni, I did see the sexist ads to which you...Hi Pancerni, I did see the sexist ads to which you refer. I'm hoping they were a one off. I think it might have been due to the lack of time I've had Adsense running which threw the 'content match' askew; hopefully as more posts are added this shouldn't happen - I'll watch the words I use very carefully for a while and stop ads if it repeats in the medium term - I don't like them either.<br /><br />Mostly now, the ads seem to be pizza ovens, financial / small business stuff and computer stuff, with the odd hobby stuff supplier (I noted Derwent advertising today) and 'military history' search engine. <br /><br />Otherwise, thanks for those taking a few seconds to click on an advertisement at the end of a visit. I guess it's a bit like busking, and the ads give you a chance to drop a penny in my hat.<br /><br />We'll see how it goes.JAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-13056233941755004922021-12-06T02:31:01.816-08:002021-12-06T02:31:01.816-08:00JR -

Keegan noted how the course of the battle could be tracked or outlined by the movement and appearances of The Duke at various locations throughout the day. <br /><br />I do not visit often enough (something I should correct, I suppose) to be annoyed by the addition of the adverts. (However, the repetition of the "large chested female" in the ad for Xmas pics was a bit of a distraction!) Ad Blocker might be on my list, then.<br /><br />Anyway, keep up the outstanding work and good luck with the solo game. I'm going to "wager" on the French in this what if version of history.<br /><br />Cheers and best wishes for a nice holiday and COVID-free New Year,<br />ChrisChris Hahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104235350544602990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-23617133923546211502021-12-06T01:22:06.075-08:002021-12-06T01:22:06.075-08:00Just to offer an opinion.

Not being prudish but skipping around 'greatest bosoms of the world' or 'most paused movie moments.'..leads eventually to spending time elsewhere. Which is a shame, I would miss so much here. <br />There is one blog I already frequently skip due to the ads presented, one I used to look forward to reading. Undoubtedly there will be more. pancernihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108442113999809459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-48843495804255546102021-12-05T13:34:44.372-08:002021-12-05T13:34:44.372-08:00According to Peter J.

That might be an option for you? <br /><br />I don't get a say in where the ads appear in a post, and I can see that they do get in the way because I edit posts from the published page (because I find it easier - believe it or not, I do read my own posts a couple of times and I don't use an ad blocker) so I see how the ads might be a little inconvenient.<br /><br />Currently, the ads are making £5 to £7 a week. Over a year, ring fenced for wargaming, that's quite a lot of new tin so I'm probably going to keep them running.JAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-80955988472620427942021-12-05T13:17:23.097-08:002021-12-05T13:17:23.097-08:00These ads are really intrusive, I thought the firs...These ads are really intrusive, I thought the first was a joke you’d inserted but soon realised not.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908371293187933458noreply@blogger.com
